Allow users to import, export, and share custom gamemodes #1

Open MoralCode opened 3 years ago

Users should be able to include their favorite gamemodes (like hallmark bingo) either by URL as hosted on an external server or uploaded with a manual file.

This would be a great way to facilitate sharing and resharing of board tile definitions and allow for the growth of a community for creating bingo boards for more specialized topics that arent as universally useful.

Some TODOs:

MoralCode commented 2 years ago

maybe this could also be done via pastebin or github gists?

this may require having a library, website, or some piece of code to validate the game boards so people can check if they will work.

user generated content could potentially get pretty terrible security wise, but maybe its fine with just a client-side-only app?

MoralCode commented 2 years ago

having a specification for the (json based???) format and/or a builder tool to create/import (and dedup??? #9 ) these boards might be super cool.

Maybe some kind of tool where you can upload existing boards and it OCR's or somehow parses the bingo tiles out and generates a spec-compliant set of tiles/whatever for them.

seems like https://github.com/kbuzsaki/bingosync might be able to benefit a lot from a spec like this given how many requests for new boards they have
